Something went wrong W/ qmail

[kaitech]

Hi
I am having a problem with Plesk 8.0 and qmail.

When I go to servers nd go to Service Manager, SMTP is of and when I attempt to start it Plesk throws the following error message:

Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by mailmng: mailmng: Service qmail failed to start System error 2: No such file or directory

0: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/common_func.php3:170
psaerror(string 'Unable to make action: Unable to manage service by mailmng: mailmng: Service qmail failed to start System error 2: No such file or directory')
1: /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/server/restart_services.php:30


In the Mail logs I have the following error appearing everytime I try to start qmail:

Can not start: unable to switch to the que directory

Any help would be apreciated in fixing this

sounds like a permission problem with qmail and the user who is running qmail.

Is this a new Plesk install, or an upgrade from version 7?

do you have ssh / shell access?

If so, as root setgiduid as the qmail user and run the qmail command to see what errors you receive, and so make sure that user can write to the queue directory.
